Art by Christian DARASSE. Story by Philippe TOME. History of the name "Les Minoukinis". First, there was the "The Bikini" the two-part beach suit, so called after the bombed atoll and the reaction it was supposed to create to the men in the fifties. Later, the "topless" model (mostly in european and australian resorts) was discovered which was called after the "Bi"-kini: the "Mono"-kini. Going natural, on naturist beaches, could be called the "No"-kini way or -like we decided- for the French version: the Minou-Kini. A "minou" in French is the sweet name we give to a kitten. In French it sounds great for a wide audience interested in discovering naturism.

These are samples of the new comic "LES MINOUKINIS" by DARASSE (art) and Philippe TOME (script), two professional authors from Belgium. The complete book of 44 pages was released in November in France and Belgium (Glenat Publishing). It describes the dream-like experience of a small nudist community living on a tropical island. The idea came after some wonderful trips at several bare beaches in Spain, Guadeloupe and Australia. The purpose of the comic is plain entertainment. Enjoy.
